Plus-size retailer Lane Bryant is still plugging away at its Labors of Hercules, i.e., their attempts to convince a customer base with increasing options that there’s new life in the old gal. This time, they’ve enlisted designer Prabal Gurung for their next higher-end collaboration.

As the death toll from Saturday’s 7.9 magnitude earthquake in Nepal climbs past 2,500, relief efforts to help victims are underway. Prabal Gurung, who was born in Singapore but raised in Kathmandu, has organized a relief fund to aid those who were affected by the devastation. Although it has been years since the…

Prabal Gurung designed a line for Japanese brand ICB that's a "stepping stone" to his own line, and we think that means lower prices, more casual? It was certainly very cool: Swingy skirts, slouchy trousers, jackets with sharp architectural details, and some unique twists, like slit or cutout sleeves. Do you like?

Last night, fashion designers and celebrities convened at the 29th Annual Fashion Group International Night Of Stars. The FGI is a global, non-profit, professional organization with a mission to be the pre-eminent authority on the business of fashion and design. But all we really want to know is: What did everyone wear…

According to Vogue's Emily Holt, Prabal Gurung's 2013 spring collection has a lot to do with the looming presidential election, which translated on the runway to a looser fitting clothes that "would liberate women's movements as they go about their day." You know, like help them vote or whatever — I'm not really sure…

Prabal Gurung's fall collection started off somber, dark, and restrained, with 14 straight all-black looks. But the models' eye makeup — a shimmery peacock blue — hinted at the delight of color to come. The show unfolded precisely, an ordered progression from darkness to light. You could see Gurung introducing his…

Nicki Minaj was in the front row at Prabal Gurung's show this weekend. I am generally terrible at recognizing celebrities in real life — unless they're Fran Lebowitz — but I have to admit this was a pretty extreme boldfacefail. I mean, she's Nicki Minaj. And she's wearing a pink bow that looks like a halo.

Every year that I age, my musical knowledge gets more pathetic, because as it turns out people keep on making and recording new music, so there is geometrically more of it for me to be unaware of. The thing is, I am not cool. I have never been one of those people who just knows about the hot new song and/or artist.…

Khloe Kardashian, her late, lamented red hair, and a mask apparently made of plastic packing straps and a packet of studs from the nearest Michaels star on the cover of NY skate shop Yellow Rat Bastard's in-store mag, YRB. [Racked]

Who has a lot of opinions about what Kate Middleton should wear the day she becomes a princess? Designers, that's who! From Karl Lagerfeld, who favors "high boots," to Christian Lacroix, who designed an Elizabethan bodice, everyone has a fantasy.

Paulina Porizkova on America's Next Top Model: "The one guarantee that you will never make it as a model is to go on that show." Which is both honest and interesting, since she used to judge "that show." [NYPost]

Singapore-born, Kathmandu-raised designer Prabal Gurung today presented the kind of put-together collection that demonstrates why his work has quickly become a favorite of Michelle Obama, Demi Moore, and other women who value glamor, but also like being taken for grown-ups.

If you were excited about seeing Lindsay Lohan in Marc Ecko's new campaign, well, too bad: the label used a model for a body double and 'Shopped on Lindsay's face. But who is the masked girl? [Daily Mail]

Emma Roberts says she meant to say only that putting her name on a clothing line would be tacky. Given Target isn't hurrying to offer lines to 19-year-olds without fashion experience, this strikes us as a fairly academic point. [@RobertsEmma]

Madonna got a clothing line. Not with Ed Hardy, but with Iconix — and her juniors' clothes will hit Macy's under the label "Material Girl" as soon as August. Expect a variety of other collections to follow, including eyewear. [WWD]
